Thanks everybody.

I am getting ready to replace my filter sand and laterals. Would it be OK to use the old sand as the base sand for a brick patio? I am an aggressive recycler! :lol: Anyone foresee any problems with this? Also, how do I figure out how much sand I need?

Thought I would let you all know. My PRJ pump went bad. I called the company and it was still under warranty. I sent it in and a little less than a week and a half, I had a new (refurbished) one delivered to my door. Not only that, I got two new micro bags. Not sure if they do that for...

Thanks for all the help everyone. Looks like Hanna's only going to be a tropical storm so we should be good. I'm more worried about Ike, we'll see which way he turns.

Greetings, With a tropical storm on the way here, and two more following right behind, is there any special preparations I need to do to my AGP? Do I need to tie down equipment (filters, etc)? As I am originally from the Midwest and moved to Virginia Beach, VA 2 years ago; I have never been...

Ya, I have a similar neighbor. Fortunately, they are across the street and not in my backyard. They think that they are the only ones that live on the block and that everyone owes them something. It's really annoying to listen to them cut up firewood with a portable saw mill in their...

1. Ask them kindly to respect your wishes and point out that you never disturb their sound environment. :blah: 2. If that doesn't work, report them to the police. Be aware though, if you report them to the police, they will more than likely be looking for revenge and look at any excuse to...

I loved mine, when it was working. Unfortunately, after 1.5 months of use, the pump stopped working. Fortunately, it is still under warranty and I am sending it back soon.

From what I have heard from other pool owners in my area (virginia beach) the going rate is $300. I would say you have a heck of a deal. I would also question what kind of chemicals they put in. All you need is balanced water before you close. I closed mine last year (with a little help from...

I wouldn't. Is it on a deck? I have a odd shaped fiberglass hot tub on a wood deck and want to put a cover lift on it. I was looking at this one: http://www.spadepot.com/shop/CoverUp-X- ... 17C49.aspx Just haven't gotten around to buying it yet.

Pool Rover Junior, haven't looked back since.

I have been considering either getting a LQ or trying a peristaltic pump to automate my chlorine. I think there are a couple of people using a peristaltic pump for acid injection, is anyone using it for chlorine? I have several questions about using a peristaltic pump. 1. Will the "white...

Thanks Jason. So, should I increase my levels to around 35 in order to maintain above 25 through the day? What level is damaging to the liner and equipment? Or, should I increase my CYA slightly?

Greetings everyone. I am battling some mustard algae, I believe, and am trying to keep my CL level above 23. Last night I raised it to about 26, this morning at 7:00 it was at 25. When I got home from work at 4:30 it was at 11. Is this a normal drop over the daylight hours? It did rain for...

I had the Dirt Devil Automatic Above Ground pool cleaner and hated it. I upgraded to a Pool Rover Jr (PRJ). and I love it. Now I just start it and let it do it's thing. With the Dirt Devil, I had to constantly observe it because it kept getting stuck. Keep in mind that the pump systems on...

Just a word of warning. According to Consumer Reports, the Broil King Signet 90 is dangerous and should not be used. During their tests, one of the Signet 90's firebox's melted and dripped molten metal in the area of the propane tank :oops: , and another one's firebox cracked during testing...

Thanks for the clarification. I will stick with the regular bleach.

I was just at Lowes and noticed that they are selling "Clorox Outdoor Cleaning Bleach". Anyone know anything about it? Is it just a marketing trick? I tried to see what the concentration was, but couldn't find it on the bottle.

I have a 18x33 and my PRJ seems to work fine. I am very impressed by how it cleans. I had your same feelings at first about it covering the entire pool. I just turn it on and let it go, it seems to get everything. I have my pins set on the holes closest to the body of the PRJ. I swap the...

All the bleach that I have used, whether it was Clorox or cheap stuff, has had a greenish tint. The greenish/yellow tint is normal. I have had a couple of bottles that were clear. These bottles sat in my hot shed for a couple of weeks and who knows how long at the store. It is my feeling...

I have similar steps, not the wedding cake ones. I don't have a pad but I am considering getting one. My liner below the steps is becoming indented from the steps and I think if I let it go longer I may have some leaking issues. I would recommend getting one. Just a word of warning with...

I had a similar problem with my Gateway laptop running XP. It would boot up, show the flash screen, and then nothing. After doing hours of research on the internet, I found out that a bootup file was missing and causing the entire thing to crash. All I had to do was burn the file to a disk...

Nevermind, I called Aquabot and found out that "T" is for PRJ sold by "In the Swim" and "C" is for PRJ's sold by Costco. Nothing physically different with the PRJ, just the name. In case anyone else was curious...

I have asked this question before as well. See this thread for answer: liquidator-and-agp-t6154.html

Does anyone know the difference between the Pool Rover Junior and the Pool Rover Junior "T"? I haven't been able to find anything on the websites, and the prices are about the same.

I would say no, you don't need a waiver, however, I am not a lawyer. If it were me I would probably not worry about it. On the other side, nowadays people sue you for looking at them the wrong way. It's a wonderful judicial system :roll: .

NWMNMom, I saw you also purchased filter bags for your rover. How much did they cost? I am already sold on the PRJ and will purchase one shortly, however, I am concerned about the price of the bags. $45 on most sites that I have found :oops: . I went to REC Warehouse :twisted: yesterday to...

Thanks, Jason. I will try that and see what happens. Can't believe I didn't think of that.

How do I know if my sand filter is blowing sand back into my pool? I vacuumed on Wednesday @ 5pm and by 5 pm on Thursday there was sand/dirt on the bottom of the pool :evil: . I'm not sure if this is just dust blown into the pool, or if it is coming from the filter? When I wave my foot next...

I know I saw this subject somewhere, but could not find the thread with it. What is the general consensus? Can you use the Liquidator with an AGP or not? I really want to get one but I thought I saw a post that it will not work with AGP's. Also, where do you order it from?
